Simple, Tasty Blueberry Muffins!

Okay, so here's a new recipe I just had to share, found recently over at Food.com. My kids aren't usually fans of anything blueberry, but these muffins seem to be the exception to the rule. The first time I made these mildly sweet, cupcake-like muffins, they lasted for a total of about... oh, 20 minutes before they all disappeared, courtesy of some seriously hungry kiddos!

Here's the recipe:
